Looking at the poster, Zhang Yu said with some skepticism, "This is the hottest market?"

Meanwhile, Black Crow continued to send messages, "The silver economy, and tutoring classes for the elderly, is currently the most profitable market in the Dark Tutoring World."

Black Crow: Because the Cultivation Method you demonstrated before were more suited to the needs of students and construction sites, and not so suitable for this market, we probably haven't had much contact with them.

Black Crow: I'm not clear about your current situation either. Since you asked, I'll tell you about the most profitable market right now, which is also the market where our Dark Learning Gang is fiercely competing with the Gold Class Gang.

Black Crow: The theoretical lifespan limit for the Qi Refining Period is 150 years, which is why there are a large number of elderly people in the tutoring market in Songyang City.

Black Crow: The elderly have some savings, and in order not to be eliminated by the market, they need to constantly cultivate and learn new versions and updates of Cultivation Method in order to keep up with the times and maintain their jobs.

Black Crow: That's why the market for tutoring seniors has always been in short supply and very profitable.

Black Crow: However, the market for tutoring the elderly is also very demanding. After all, those who can live to old age and continue to work are all at the Qi Refining Peak for many years. The tutoring they need is definitely not for Basic Cultivation Method, but for many advanced Cultivation Method.

Black Crow: Besides the new version of the Cultivation Method needed for work, there are also Longevity Cultivation Method, Cultivation Method for metabolizing drug toxins after years of taking medicine, and Cultivation Method for repairing hidden injuries to the body... all of which are very popular.

Black Crow: After all, only by ensuring their physical health and overcoming the damage caused by years of drug use and overtime work can they continue to maintain their competitiveness in the workplace.

Looking at the messages sent by Black Crow, Zhang Yu gained a basic understanding of what was currently the most profitable Dark Tutoring World.

He thought to himself, "That makes sense. With the number of college students, Junior College, and high school graduates increasing year by year, the number of elderly Qi Refining is bound to grow as well. These elderly people have more savings than young people, and the Cultivation Method they want to learn are more expensive than those of young people. This is indeed a huge market."

Zhang Yu immediately asked again, "Is there a market for the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen '?"

Black Crow: The Boundless Spring Autumn Zen of the Xianyun Corporation? Haha, of course there's a market for that! Teacher Ma, do you know this top-tier Cultivation Method?

Behind the Dark Learning Gang is the Deep Sea Education Group, which, as a rival of the Xianyun Corporation, has always been fond of cracking and pirating the Xianyun Corporation's Cultivation Method.

As a top-tier Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method, the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen also has the effects of enhancing metabolism and eliminating drug and elixir poisoning. When Black Crow heard Zhang Yu, under the alias Ma Yunteng, mention the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen, he became as interested as a cat smelling fish.

Black Crow: In three days, the gang will arrange trial lessons for several potential Gold Medal Teacher. If you're interested, Teacher Ma, I can help you make the arrangements.

Zhang Yu and Black Crow agreed to a trial lesson three days later, but Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said, "I don't seem to have any suitable Cultivation Method to teach the elderly."

Fu Ji said, "A-Zhen, you possess True Spirit Root and have Thunder Magical Power flowing into your Dantian Qi Sea. The most suitable path for you to become stronger is ultimately through combat."

"The current gang war between the Dark Learning Gang and the Gold Class Gang is perfect for you. It will not only allow you to make money, but also hone your combat skills and prepare you for the Foundation Establishment Exam in three months."

"In my opinion, Zhang Yu should become a Gold Medal Teacher, while you participate in gang battles to hone your skills and earn money. This is the best arrangement for the two of you."

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "A gang war... won't it be dangerous?"

Fu Ji said, "Nonsense, how can there be no danger in real combat? But compared to battles with real Military Grade forces, compared to corporate warfare, compared to the future struggle between you and the Evil God god followers behind the Zhou Family, the intensity of gang warfare is definitely very low."

"If you're not even willing to take this small risk in real combat, what makes you think you can climb the ranks?"

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, a determined glint in her eyes. "Fu Ji is right."

"I am indeed suited for this path."

"Yu Zi, don't worry. With the help of my True Spirit Root and my speed, even if I encounter something I can't beat, I can still run away, right?"

Zhang Yu gave Bai Zhenzhen a deep look, knowing that this was the path she had chosen herself, her decision, and her determination to pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam. As her close friend, he could only respect that decision.

So Bai Zhenzhen also logged into the Kun God World, added Black Crow as a friend, and participated in the Dark Learning Gang's gang battle under her original alias Le Mulan.

Black Crow: Teacher Le, you've come at the perfect time. The gang is currently in dire need of an expert like you. There's an operation in four days, and I was wondering if you'd like to participate?

After fulfilling their agreement with Black Crow, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their respective cultivation, preparing for the upcoming lectures and battles.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, with the blessing of the High School Sacred Body, Zhang Yu first cultivated the Grievance Fiend Art to the Level 10 and developed a body of Copper Armor Corpse Skin.

After reaching Level 10 of this Cultivation Method, as soon as he channeled his energy, a bronze hue appeared under his skin, as if he were wearing a layer of armor.

He tried cutting the skin on the back of his hand with a knife, and it took more than 30% of his strength to draw a single drop of blood.

Even though it's a cut on my own skin, it feels like it's cut into a thick, hard layer of keratin.

Clearly, after practicing this Grievance Fiend Art, Zhang Yu's skin possessed a resilience and protective ability far exceeding what it had before.

After cultivating this Grievance Fiend Art to Level 10, he still felt a sense of unfinished business.

Fu Ji, standing to the side, pointed out, "This Grievance Fiend Art should have a sequel."

"However, you only bought the right to use the Qi Refining version."

"If you want to continue cultivating this Cultivation Method after Foundation Establishment and push it to Level 20, then you 'Cultivation Method need to buy the right to use the Foundation Establishment version." Zhang Yu wasn't very interested in this, since Fu Ji didn't know that he was cultivating so many Cultivation Method to form Martial Dao Sacred Embryo, and he hadn't thought that far ahead about what Cultivation Method he would cultivate during the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In the past three days, in addition to using the Grievance Fiend Art to refine his skin, Zhang Yu also borrowed the Bai Zhenzhen Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set from Bai Zhenzhen to help him cultivate the Expert-level Cultivation Method, Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture, which he obtained from Songyang High School.

This Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture uses electric shocks to help generate bone marrow and accelerate bone remodeling. It is a top-level Body Refining Cultivation Method that can increase bone density.

The Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set from Songyang High School was acquired by Songyang High School specifically to complement this Cultivation Method.

Zhang Yu was covered in 999 silver needles, and bolts of lightning pierced his bone marrow, reshaping his skeleton using the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

As Zhang Yu advanced the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture from Level 1 to level 9, all the bones in his body, except for his skull, were completely renewed, radiating a silvery frost-like luster beneath his skin.

At this very moment, when Zhang Yu finally pushed the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture to Level 10, his skull seemed to have undergone a thousand hammerings and temperings in an instant, turning into a layer of silver frost.

As his entire skeleton was completely renewed, his bone density and strength increased dramatically. Zhang Yu's weight also increased along with the increase in bone weight, reaching more than 300 kilograms without much change in his body shape.

The Level 10 effect of the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture allows him to slowly repair the damage to his bones by circulating this Cultivation Method.

Patting his chest, Zhang Yu felt that the flesh tempered by the Grievance Fiend Art, combined with the ribs tempered by the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Scripture, were like double armor protecting his internal organs.

Zhang Yu's Physical Strength has finally crossed the final step, reaching the Level 10 Physical Strength Qi Refining Limit.

"Although the Physical Strength only increased by about 0.06 levels."

"But these two Body Protection Technique have made me far stronger than before."

"As expected, once one's Dao Heart, Mana Power, and Physical Strength reach their limits during the Qi Refining Period, cultivating more Cultivation Method becomes the best way to improve one's strength."

Looking at A-Zhen, who was still cultivating, Zhang Yu said to the Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set, "Spirit, stop the cultivation mode."

A spirit's voice came from the needle case. "Stop training mode, enter standby mode, awaiting user commands."

Ninety-nine silver needles, crackling with electricity, shot out from Zhang Yu's body and returned to their box.

He twisted his neck, listening to the crackling sounds coming from his new bones, Zhang Yu smiled slightly, saying, "A-Zhen, you continue your cultivation. I'm going to try out my class."

Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand and said, "Keep it up, earn more!"

The meeting place agreed upon by Zhang Yu and Black Crow was located inside an abandoned underground transportation station.

Zhang Yu changed his appearance and had only been at the platform for a short while when he saw a girl standing in front of Black Crow Black Crow, discussing something with him.

Zhang Yu had no interest in listening to gossip, so he turned his head and decided to walk aside and wait.

But then the girl angrily exclaimed, "Teacher! My grandpa secretly watches porn during class! He secretly watches porn during class! Every time I open his phone, it's full of porn, there's no room left to save my textbooks!"

The girl's words made Zhang Yu stop in his tracks immediately.

The girl continued, "Because he didn't pay attention in class, he couldn't keep up with the progress of his Cultivation Method, and his work performance has declined for several months!"

"My grandfather was never self-disciplined from a young age. My dad told me that when my grandfather was working, he was unwilling to work overtime. He hadn't been promoted by the time he was 50, and he couldn't even afford to pay for my dad's and my tutoring fees."

"So I'm begging you, please help me keep an eye on him so his Cultivation Method can keep up and he can earn more money."

"We won't spend this money recklessly; we'll save it all for you, and we'll come to your house for tutoring from now on."

Black Crow said helplessly, "Our teachers here are very busy and generally don't take charge of classroom discipline."

After the two sides argued for a long time, get out of class finally ended in the classroom next door, and the girl had to go pick up her grandfather from school.

Black Crow breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Zhang Yu standing to the side, and said, "Teacher Ma, you've arrived."

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "That thing just now..."

Black Crow casually explained, "Oh, he's a student who's been taking medication for a long time, and his IQ has declined in old age. His family has poor education and low income, and they all hope this mentally challenged student can continue to earn money, so they sent him here."

Black Crow continued, "Just a reminder, today's trial classes are all in real classrooms, and the students are all real elderly clients."

"Which course do you plan to teach?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "The Boundless Spring Autumn Zen."
